Dynamic mitigation strategy for stock-out based on joint compensation and procurement

Combining compensating customers and emergency sourcing,a type of dynamic mitigation strategy is proposed to deal with supply disruptions.When a stock-out occurs,the retailer can control backorders by the compensation level,and meet demand through an emergency source along with a high price.The unsatisfied customers decide to backorder or quit orders depending on the compensation level,the waiting time,and the customers’patience.By dynamically capturing customers’post-disruption reactions,an optimal control model is formulated to minimize the cost incurred by the supply disruption.Solving the model,the optimal reactive strategy is proposed in six patterns:a pure sourcing,a pure compensation,a mixed policy,a mixed policy-pure sourcing,a mixed policy-pure compensation,and a pure compensation-mixed policy,mainly depending on the compensation cost,the disruption length,and the customers’patience.The strategies analytically indicate how to properly change the compensation level and sourcing quantity as the disruption continues.The conditions for effectively using each strategy are provided as well.

Allocation and sizing of reactive power compensators considering PV power and load demand uncertainty using beetle-antenna grey wolf optimization

Distributed photovoltaic(PV)systems play an important role in supplying many recent microgrids.The absence of reactive power support for these small-scale PV plants increases total microgrid losses and voltage-instability threats.Reactive power compensations(RPCs)should be integrated to enhance both microgrid losses and voltage profiles.RPC planning is a non-linear,complicated problem.In this paper,a combined RPC allocation and sizing algorithm is proposed.The RPC-integrating buses are selected using a new adaptive approach of loss sensitivity analysis.In the sizing process,the uncertainties in PV power and load demand are modelled using proper probability density functions.Three simulation techniques for handling uncertainties are compared to define the accurate and fast accurate method as follows:Monte Carlo simulation(MCS),scenario tree construction and reduction method,and point estimation method(PEM).The load flow equations are solved using the forward-backward sweep method.RPCs are optimally sized using the beetle-antenna-based strategy with grey wolf optimization(BGWO)to overcome the local minima problem that appeared in the other pre-proposed methods.Results have been compared using particle swarm optimization and conventional GWO.The proposed model is verified using the IEEE 33 radial bus system.The expected power loss has been reduced by 22% and 31% using compensation of 26% and 44%,respectively.The results obtained prove that the BGWO optimal power flow and PEM to handle the uncertainty can significantly reduce the computation time with sufficient accuracy.Under the study conditions,PEM reduces the computation time to 4 minutes compared with 4 hours for MCS,with only a 3% error compared with MCS as an uncertainty benchmark method.
